You can be homosexual and Christian. We are all sinners. Some want to change church teachings ON their sins and say rather than “sin no more” that they are “no more sins”.

Bravo.

We all fall short. I suspect the big difference is that those of us in FR recognise our sins as being wrong, struggle to overcome them...and aren't out in parades trying to convince confused underaged kids that they really should just relax and imitate us.

“You can be homosexual and Christian. We are all sinners. Some want to change church teachings ON their sins and say rather than “sin no more” that they are “no more sins”.”

LOL! No they aren't "Christians".

Yes, they want God to conform to THEIR world. It doesn't work that way.

When you REPENT, you change your ways. To constantly “repent” and go on “sinning” is not what God is looking for. Notice each time Christ forgives someone, He says “sin no more”.

I suppose they want to believe when someone tells you, “I won't steal again” and continues to make stealing a way of life a “Christian”. God doesn't buy into that one either. he is also very clear on what He finds an “abomination” to be and that is and always will be homosexuality.

The idea that we all sin is wears thin when you have a “sinner” repeating the SAME offense over and over again with no change at all. We are supposed to try an imitate Him knowing we will fall short but not even trying to change is where they go awry. Clearly it is not a “repenting” and “sin no more” that is going on.

They need to give God some credit instead of insulting Him! He's NOT stupid or some door mat. They aren't Christians - they're HUMANISTS. Christ knows their hearts and repeated disobedience shows they do not love Him.

In fact for people like that, He has this to say to them:

Luke.13:24-27

[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

[25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

[26] Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

[27] But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

What a very sad day that will be for them. But they are insisting on having God conform to their ways rather than this:

Rom.12:2

[2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
